The Brentford midfielder underwent the operation at Kansas City Orthopaedic Institute after injuring himself in the aftermath of the Three Lions' thrilling 3-2 victory over Mexico.
Henderson took to Instagram to share the positive news with fans.

The injury happened in truly unfortunate circumstances at Mexico City's Azteca Stadium.
Henderson hadn't actually featured in the match itself, but joined his teammates to celebrate with the travelling England supporters afterwards.
As the players gathered in front of fans – something they've done after every win this tournament – Henderson attempted to climb back onto the pitch by jumping over the advertising hoardings.
He tripped and landed awkwardly on his arm, with the situation looking serious enough that he was stretchered away while receiving oxygen.
